The result is an exciting fusion of intellectual and dramatic tension — a work of sparkling originality and innovation. This Pan Pan project takes a different approach: producing a TV/theatre hybrid, leaning more towards television but infused with a theatrical sensibility and side-stepping the tyrannies of TV drama, the most conventional of all art forms. Episode 2 is a poignant portrayal of two actors, Anna Sheils-McNamee and Tadhg Murphy, juggling gigs, toddler care and money niggles. This might be one of the more intriguing effects of the pandemic on theatre, nudging the Pan Pan talent towards the small screen.
